960 Series

Tool 960i1208B

Standard ball nose end mills stop at the equator. Undercut geometries require different thinking.

The 960i1208B extends spherical contact to 270 degrees, allowing cuts that reach beyond conventional ball nose limits.
Four flutes at 0.1875" diameter provide balanced chip evacuation while maintaining rigidity for detailed work.
The 0.117" neck diameter accesses restricted areas where larger tools cannot fit.
AlTiN coating handles the thermal demands of steel and aluminum operations.
The coating's aluminum oxide layer forms during cutting, creating a barrier against heat buildup that extends tool life in interrupted cuts common with undercut profiling.
This geometry works in steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals where conventional ball nose tools leave material behind.
The extended contact zone eliminates secondary operations for complex internal radii.
